Then the verification....

Thats pretty cool ... Is the 8500 multi 6 . or did they throw it down to prove a point ? Will this board do 4.5Ghz ?

I want it ...... ! Wonder what its going to cost.

havent found this locally yet, but i reckon it'll be round the 3k mark or poss cheaper

Wow. I knew Biostar were decent but this is great.
The CPU multiplier, Mow, was dropped to prove what the board could do.

@ a 9 multi thats 5.6 GHz !!!!!

Yeah but as you increase your CPU multiplier you reduce your max FSB limit.
It takes real talent to get a high FSB with a high CPU multiplier.

Yea this is old news, even tho ive seen 661FSB, and i think 700 almost on another site

wow. ok. well in that case how long till we see 1024mhz?

Just for those that havent seen High FSB's

HmmZ, MSI with the FSB record of 700.63Mhz
Then the others are DFI's

lol @ the record for lowest cfrequency reached! xD
15.02Mhz, damn...wonder how long it took them to boot up into Windows and post thoes results? 8O

Prolly did it with Win95 or the least resource hungry OS which CPU-Z supports?

EDIT: I like the look of that Biostar...rather neat looking board
